Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

He waits in Ambush

   My soul eternal
     wrestles the devil infernal
 
  he waits in ambush 
     perpetually, for me

  to forget, and disconnect
     from God Almighty

  then rushes in to ruin and wreck
     extinguishes in a sec, the Light

  God gave me to spread throughout the world
     leaving my conscience submerged, deeply disturbed...

Gershon Wolf January 7, 2024 at 7:06 PM Yet first, we wrestle. I must do my bit too. As my elders used to tell me, "God helps those who help themselves." Cheers, gw

Hilda Greenhough January 7, 2024 at 2:18 PM I like this poem of wariness. The devil stands behind everyone- waiting. Gershon Wolf January 7, 2024 at 7:08 PM You know it's true. I can hear the devil breathing hard behind me.

Karen Jones January 7, 2024 at 12:18 PM When I feel the devil prying in my life I meditate and turn to Christ! I like this one as we all struggle if we are honest and aware. Great write Gershon! Gershon Wolf January 7, 2024 at 7:11 PM Thanks for the heads-up, Karen. I could use a little 'step-back-and-meditate' approach these days.
